The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Arizona announced Wednesday that high school football player Hunter Osborn will not face charges after he exposed himself during the team’s yearbook photo as a prank. Officials dismissed the case after all 69 people at the photo shoot — who were considered “victims” — declined to press charges.

An online petition also was started in Osborn’s support, asking that the charges be dropped.

“I’m so happy with all the support, I am so thankful,” Osborn, who’s now 19, told ABC 15 on Wednesday afternoon. “God is on my side and I’m blessed [by] everything that’s happened from the support side,”

Osborn, who was 18 at the time of the photo, was facing one count of furnishing harmful items to minors, a felony, and 69 counts of misdemeanor indecent exposure over the prank. He was arrested Saturday, the day of his senior prom.
